Hello! My name is Samantha!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds, I used to work at a doggy daycare and have the proper training and qualifications to care for your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and have very reliable means of transportation! I am a full-time mother of two and very excited for the opportunity to hangout with your dogs! I have a full privacy fenced in back yard and am close to wonderful dog parks as well! I have three dogs of my own who are all daycare approved and love meeting and playing with new friends!

We have never left our pack EVER, 9 days had us quite worried. Samantha came to meet our babies before we left, she was in contact every day, sending pictures and updates. She was flexible and BEYOND understanding with our separation anxiety. She even gave our babies “pup cakes” for Christmas Eve. She left our house in PERFECT CONDITION. You cannot put a price on peace of mind and that is EXACTLY what we got with Samantha. We will ABSOLUTELY be using her from now on and I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful she is. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION possible for this angel.

We requested 3 visits per day. It appears we received only 2 visits per day, our security system records entrance and exits. Our dog was left alone for over 15 hours on one day. Additonally, our house key has not been returned.

Ok, I don't know where to start about Sam. She is a wonderful person inside and out. She takes wonderful care of our Lily Bugs. We met Sam when she worked at a doggie daycare and Lily fell in love with her then and when the doggie daycare closed Sam was there to save us when we really needed someone to watch our Lily bugs for us. Sam does house visits for us 2 days a week and then 3 days a week of doggie daycare at her home. We get pictures during the day of Lily and she keeps me updated. We couldn't ask for a more wonderful person.

We started using Samantha for our dog whenever we were unsatisfied with the care he was receiving at his normal daycare. We are very protective over our Frits and don’t let trust him with just anyone! He has joint issues and requires special care and also takes medication. Samantha has just been great we couldn’t be happier with our choice to send Frits to her! When we boarded him with her over the holiday she even sent home a cute craft. You can tell that she is a true animal lover and we will always use her!
